(Sept. 18, 2005) -- LBPD says a man was fatally shot shortly before 11:00 p.m. on Saturday night Sept. 17 in the 6800 block of Atlantic Ave.

Details are sketchy...especially because of the circumstances.

LBPD Public Information Officer Israel Ramirez says the victim appears to have been approached and shot in the parking lot of a convenience store...and then taken -- by some person(s) other than PD or FD -- to a hospital in Gardena where he died early Sunday morning (Sept. 18).

The victim has been identified as Jorge Limon, 24, of LB. The shooter is at large.

LBPD is asking the public for assistance. Anyone who saw or heard matters relevant to this crime is asked to call LBPD Homicide Detectives Richard Conant or Russ Moss at (562) 570-7244.
